With construction season underway, you may have seen the work commencing south of the Sarcee Trail/16th Avenue NW overpass, as well as the East Paskapoo Parklands on Medicine Hill. Trinity Hills Development is making progress with their site preparation for their mixed-use site that includes retail, office and residential units, originally approved in July 2015.

Most recently, they have submitted a land use redesignation to the City, and are offering two public information sessions in June so Calgarians can learn more about the proposed changes and latest updates.

The developer-hosted information sessions will go over the requested amendments, which will allow for a seniors facility, overnight pet care, larger restaurants, and modified building setbacks.

Through these changes, Trinity is looking at making adjustments to ensure the right amenities are available to serve the residents of Medicine Hill and surrounding communities.

I look forward to seeing the newest plans and hearing your questions and concerns. I am interested in the interface with the slopes, as this is one the most important areas in Calgary’s history regarding First Nations and Blackfoot cultures, and the connection to the land via pathways and trails is key.

As you may recall, the upper two-thirds of the slopes were returned to the City of Calgary and will be managed by the City of Calgary Parks Department. The City is investing nearly $3 million to improve the upper slopes and will provide guaranteed maintenance for years to come.

Representatives from Trinity and The City of Calgary will be available to answer questions at both sessions.

Trinity Hills Information Session dates and times:

June 19, 2017: 6 to 8:30 pm, Calgary French and International School, 700 77 Street SW
